[Verse I]
Vicariousness/Right there it was left in
Side a beautiful child on a big dirt diamond
The pearl skirts along that surface
Error feels like a pricked sea urchin
Urged to improve on the dot
For once, not even against the clock
It goes one two three now its up to me
To eat that meat on spaghetti
Hearing and seeing all things around
Beards and hoodies combine for the sound
Directors cut time to stand and stare
As he yells instructions from the lawn chair
Go back home and bring in the ducks
Son gets hit with movement and bad luck
Instead of hiring himself as the mentor
He becomes him/spread the blame from the center
[Verse II]
Vicariousness/To compare it was stress that
Caused the child in the desk to stay compressed
Sweat beads dribble down the top of the brow
All the voices in his head competing to be loud
Let the search engine browse for a minute
Fish his way through the info given
Wanna net himself a day away, lord willing
Where the winter's not presented so chilly
A single point captains the boat
Vicariousness grabs the horns of the goat
The installed lesson programmed by genetics
The father reminder of true incentive
Thankful for everything he gave you
Let you learn on your own but he paved you
A set of arrows to guide the path
Created with love from dad
